Waiting for Santa Claus

Tired of
Waiting for Santa Claus
I ventured into the
Deepest corners of my being and
Discovered the real treasure within

The spirit of
Christmas cheer, it’s time to
Play Santa
To the poor and helpless…
The dying children of Darfur

A Christmas stocking
Full of goodies for the
Precious one…
The baby-faced angel
Next door

The Ethiopians in
Festive mood; pampering the
Christmas tree…
Sound of laughter in the house
Joyful lips!
